First Trip to Messila and Laajavuori Bike Park in 2012

We decided to go to Messila and Laajavuori at our first Bike Park trip in 2012 season. Our usual first stop in Finland is Messila Camping which is close to Messila Bike Park. This camping always has plenty of space to put our tent, empty kitchen to cook some meal and drunk finnish people singing karaoke.
Messila Bike Park is very good for begining of the season. It's trails are not too hard. It has about 100m of height and about 5 different trails

Here are some photos from Messila:

My Bike for a Season 2012. Specialized Big Hit 2010

Spring had come. Snow melts. My bike is ready to hit the mountains. It is still Specialized Big Hit 2010.
I've just changed oil in Marzocchi 888 RC3 Fork, cleaned and greased chain with chainrings. I've put 2010 marzocchi decals on my fork to refresh it :). I've put 1 ply Tioga Factory DH Tyres, cause there's no hard trails close to my city. I'll put Intense FRO Lite dual-ply tyres for bike park riding.
Light MG-1 pedals will be changed for Wellgo B-54 cause I don't appreciate how MG-1 keep feet.  Other components of the bike are the same as in the previous post.
